Description
In 2024, upon the recommendation of the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation, the Palm Springs City Council unanimously voted 5-0 to officially designate Country Club Estates as one of the city's distinguished Mid-Century "Historic Districts". This gorgeous 30-unit PUD, designed by renowned architect A. Quincy Jones, FAIA (known for Sunnylands), is the only residential housing in the entire Coachella Valley crafted by this legendary architect available for purchase. A rarity indeed. It is even rarer when one of these sparkling gems comes to market, with many original features still intact. Sitting on one of the most prime pieces of FEE land (you own it) in treasured South Palm Springs, you are encapsulated by mountain ranges in front and behind you. This desirable end-unit is approached by a tranquil, desert-landscaped pathway that sets a welcoming tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, many original mid-century features have been beautifully preserved, showcasing authentic architectural character throughout. The peek-a-boo kitchen opens to a spacious living area with soaring 10-foot ceilings and the iconic original cinderblock design, creating an open, light-filled atmosphere. A striking central atrium bathes the home in natural light while offering a private, open-air retreat that extends the living space. The primary suite features original sliding screens that reflect Jones' thoughtful open-plan design. Bathrooms retain their original cabinetry and tilework, and a private laundry area adds everyday convenience. The home is beautifully maintained and immediately livable, offering exceptional potential to elevate and add value with thoughtful modern updates. There is also a spacious private back-patio, perfect for a tranquil morning coffee, sunkissed afternoons with a book, or enchanting al fresco dinners at twilight, inviting a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The patio offers stunning, forward-facing views of the San Jacinto mountain range. This feature is only available in west-facing units, which rarely come to market. Off the patio area, a quick trot down a path reveals the exquisite complex pool and spa. Lounge chairs dotted with aqua-blue umbrellas offer sweeping mountain views, rivaling any resort-style retreat. The manicured grounds contain 60-year old mature olive trees, original grassy meadows, and meandering pathways complemented by modern desert landscaping. The development is a fan-favorite, consistently selling out during Modernism Week tours, which help fund HOA improvements. Experience the best of Palm Springs from this perfectly situated location, with shopping, restaurants, and picturesque hiking trails waiting to be explored. Country Club Estates, along with this charming and increasingly rare unit, offers more than just a place to call home. It embodies a modern lifestyle within a mid-century oasis, steeped in history and destined to remain one of Palm Springs' most cherished architectural landmarks. (Property is tenant occupied and Buyer to cooperate with Seller for a 1031 exchange.)
